Matthias Lonsinger was born in the Principality of Hohenlohe, Württemberg, Germany in 1723. The names of his wife and three children are not identified in The Immigration of German Colonists to Denmark and Their Subsequent Emigration to Russia in the Years 1759-1766, however German church records identify the first name of his first wife as Anna Barbara, and their three children as Anna Barbara, Maria Barbara, and Matthias Wilhelm.
The family immigrated to Denmark in 1762, but with only 2 children. His eldest daughter would have been 14 years old that year. It is possible that she had married and was listed in another immigration entry, that she remained in Germany for other reasons, or that she was deceased. It's also possible that it was her sister who was deceased. The only child identified in later census records was son Matthias Wilhelm. See the research notes below for more information.
According to the transportation list entry A48-3, Matthias, his wife, and two children immigrated to Denmark in 1762. [1] They arrived at the Danish processing center in Altona on June 20, 1762. [1] After leaving Altona on July 19, they arrived at their final destination of Flensburg, Duchy of Schleswig on July 24, 1762.[1]
As of April 1765, he and his family lived at 1 Dans Hof in Colony F14, Koenigsheide in the district of Flensburg.[1] At some point before 1767, he applied for permission to immigrate to Russia. He and his family are listed in the 1775 Grimm census.
1775 Grimm Census

He is not specifically listed in the 1798 Grimm census, but his son with the same name is, differentiated from his father by his age. The elder Matthias had most likely passed away prior to 1798. Had he survived to the year of the census, he would have been 75 years old.
